I heard as much. But a "Thief" release would be a much harder job than "Rock & Rule", if for the simple reason that "Rock & Rule" was already a finished film.

Ogg, did you mention that "Holy Grail of Animation" discussion that recently took place among animation fans in your letters to the companies? There was quite a strong showing for "Thief" over there, which seems to suggest that more and more people are hearing about this.

Also, do you think it would help if any of us emailed some of these companies as well?

It probably would. Here's the contacts...

Anchor Bay - suggestions@anchorbayent.com
Unearthed Films - heneverdies@aol.com
Fantoma - http://www.fantoma.com/fantoma.html (click on "contact us")
Criterion - mulvaney@criterionco.com
Home Vision/Image Entertainment - acquisitions@image-entertainment.com

Esn, if you could email that link to them (I already sent out a letter to each, with more technical stuff), that would be nice. Best to be brief and just give a short explanation on why you want it from them. Remember: These are companies that have no control over anything unless they get a license to deal with the movie. It's no one's fault if the rights can't be obtained.

I'm sort of worried that contacting this many labels could start some confusion (if all of them are asking about the title), but five DVD labels all asking about the same movie will help exposure... I hope.
